Free admission for children 12 and under.

We dance every Thursday night (except Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve)
in Mt. Airy at the Commodore Barry Club, 6815 Emlen
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19119 (directions).
The Third Saturday Contra Dance is at
Summit Church, also in Mt. Airy. We thank the staff of Glenside
Memorial Hall for supporting our dances for nearly 20 years.

FIRST TIME FREE!

Not your first time? Bring your friends and let them
too discover the joy, energy, swirling awesomeness, and just plain fun
of contra dancing!

As contra dancers, we need to always be recruiting in order to grow
our dance and have more fun. Now is the time to start talking to that
friend who you think would love to dance with us. Bring them
for free on any Thursday night.

The best way to get people to try something new is to personally ask
them: share your love for dancing, bring them early, teach them how to
swing, et cetera. The more we grow our dance, the more fun we can all
have. Who will you recruit? Will it be someone from work? Someone
from your place of worship? Someone from your knitting group or
Zumba class? A stranger on the street?

SPUDS

The Summit Pick Up Dance Society (SPUDS)
is open to all musicians who wish to participate, and has musicians
of different levels of ability among its members. Since it is a
contra dance band, the tunes range from reels and jigs to waltzes.
We play for the Thursday night dance about seven times a year and
occasionally for other events. For more information on how you can
take part, including jams and rehearsals, visit the SPUDS
website or contact SPUDS Coordinators Kim
Neubauer and Bill Quern.
